Testimonials

Thank you for a very enjoyable day. We are enjoying the fruits of our labours and it's the best bread I have ever made. The 'hands on' approach was great, and having a hand out to take home is really useful.
The structure and content of the day works. The hospitality exemplary.

Day was well paced, very enjoyable and lunch was lovely.
The best way to learn is by trying it yourself and I feel much more confident to have a go at making all sorts of breads in the future. The course met (and exceeded) expectations. All helpful and informative. Thank you!

Thank you for a wonderful day yesterday. The time seemed to fly even though the day was dense with activity and knowledge and useful interesting facts - the smells, the textures and the feel of the dough and snatches of conversation are still fresh with me. The bread is fantastic too! I have sampled it all today with my family and they are amazed at the quality and variety of the breads, putting it easily on a par with anything they've bought from a professional bakery. Thanks so much for a great experience - and such great bread!

A wonderful, rewarding day. The bread making is enthralling and Geraint really knows how to convey the science of it in the lessons - but not at the expense of dispelling the magic.
I can't recommend this course highly enough to anyone interested in bread, food or cooking.

Introduction to Breadmaking November 2012

We've just spent a great day baking lots of lovely bread including walnut,seed and soda breads, not to mention the focaccia and chelsea buns which are now rapidly disappearing here at home now that our children have tracked them down! Geraint brought a relaxing and informative approach to the day and clearly knows all you need to know about baking, blending science with practice in a really informative way. Ingredients used were the very best including lots of different flours, seeds and focaccia toppings for a great lunch! If you don't enjoy the smell and feel of warm freshly baked bread and a personal and relaxing and homely learning environment, then this course isn't for you. If you do, then book a day of baking with Geraint as soon as you can!

Really helpful personal experience. Covered a huge range of baking in one day, but at a pace and with sufficient explanation to ensure that I will be able to tackle the recipes again. Excellent pack to take home, and lovely to be able to browse the baking books. Lunch was delicious too. Many thanks.

The course completely met my expectations and took some of the fear away from bread baking. Geraint's knowledge is obviously first class and he imparts it well. The pace was just about right and we managed to put in several different techniques into the day. I would recommend the course to others.

Introduction to Breadmaking November 2012

Please let me thank you for a most enjoyable day in Dinas Powys. The bread I took away with me is being enjoyed by wife and myself.
The course was well paced and relaxed, with much information shared with us. The venue was good and relevant, as I will only be cooking in a domestic environment, and the refreshments offered were particularly tasty. The options were clearly available for us to select what variety of bread to bake at the different stages, and that added to the relaxed nature of the day. The hand out at the end was well crafted and full of information and indications where we could research further any aspects we want to. Excellent. Expectation wise, I did not have a detailed list, only that I wanted to learn what breadmaking was about, and how I could fit that in with what I do. This expectation was clearly met.
An excellent day's learning, and one that I would definitely recommend to friends and associates.

Really enjoyed the day and felt the course was structured well and met all my expectations. Having only two of us on the course meant that we had lots of attention. I liked the venue, I thought it was homely and intimate like being in a friend's home. I hadn't expected to take home so much bread which was great; I felt like a little girl taking home something that I had made in school for my mum!!!

Super home venue. Experience of teacher is very useful to draw on. Course content varied and wide ranging. Structured just right to keep interest throughout the day.
All in all a top course in baking from a real craftsman.
